USAF admits Reserve Airmen not getting paid!
10 August 2016 /21:12 UTC-07 Tango 01 (21 Mordad 1395/07 Dhu I-Qa’da 1437/09 Bing-Shen 4714)
The U.S. Air Force has round-a-boutly admitted that Reserve unit personnel are not getting paid for travel expenses. The revelation was made as the USAF boasted about a new voucher program that has significantly increased payouts.
The new program is being tested at Dover AFB in Delaware, by the 512th Airlift Wing. According to the 512th Financial Management office, in August 2015 there were 113 Airmen who were owned money for travel expenses (this is just for Reserve Airmen who drill at Dover). Under the new system that’s been dropped to 27 in July.
The new system has been so succesfull that Technical Sergeant Nathan Rivard wrote “Since August 2015, the office has seen a drastic increase in the amount of travel vouchers. The FM team of three has pushed through an average of 500 travel vouchers a month and regularly reviews approximately 650 vouchers a month….”
Remember, this new system is only being tested at one AFB. Who knows how many Reservists at other U.S. Air Force bases aren’t getting paid? Of course senior level personnel have been accusing lower level personnel of not properly submitting payout requests, although finance managers admitted that it was a complicated process.

Vehicle I-D: 60 years, the KC-135 flies through the Cold War & beyond!

60 years ago Boeing created the cargo hauler/airborne fueler for the U.S. Air Force, called the KC-135 (it is not a 707, its development was actually started before the 707). 
Here’s a USAF ‘remember when’ and current operations video about the KC-135:

Republicans block your access to military bases!

According to a recent U.S. Air Force news report residents of three U.S. states, and one U.S. territory, can no longer use their locally issued drivers licesense as identification to enter a U.S. military base.
It’s because Minnesota, Missouri, Washington and American Samoa are considered non-compliant with the Orwellian police state Real ID act passed by Republican controlled Congress, and signed into law by Republican George W. Bush in 2005.
To access the military installations in those areas (where many people have to work) you need an Enhanced Drivers License, valid Passport or Department of Defense Common Access card. To this date there is no proof that the Real ID law has prevented any crimes!
Obama deploys Texas militia on historic Middle East dominating mission!

“It’s the first time that an engineer brigade headquarters has had this type of mission within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. We have had other engineer brigades in Iraq and Afghanistan other times but they have had different types of missions. This mission will be a pure engineer brigade headquarters mission where we will be overseeing and providing command and control for specific engineer missions throughout the theater….. Our mission is so diverse and covers such a wide variety of sovereign countries, with each having its own set of rules, it will require us to stay on top of it and we have a process that will ensure we get to where we need to go.”-Colonel Charles M. Schoening, Texas National Guard 176th Engineer Brigade Commander
Over the next nine months, besides expanding the U.S. military presence in the Middle East through the construction of more permanent military installations, one of the historic missions of the 176th will be to track 1-thousand 7-hundred Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard personnel throughout the region.

If Russia is the ‘bad guy’ to the United States, then why are U.S. tax dollars being paid to Russian companies to make deliveries to U.S. military personnel?

It’s part of Obama’s plan to dominate East Asia (‘Pivot to Asia’ ‘Pacific Pathways’): “This simulator delivery is part of a larger project of standing up the Operation Training Complex. When completed, it will be the largest flight simulator training complex in the Marine Corps and nearly the largest in Asia, providing training to our Navy and Marine Corps aviators.”-Tyler VandenBerg, engineer on MCAS Iwakuni

WHAT’S IN A PROPHECY? MABUS NAMES WARSHIP AFTER HOMOSEXUAL LEADER WHO LIED!
What’s in a Prophecy? Mabus names warship after homosexual leader who lied!
08 August 2016 (01:24 UTC-07 Tango 01) 18 Mordad 1395/04 Dhu I-Qa’da 1437/06 Bing-Shen 4714
For the first time in history a U.S. Navy ship has been knowingly named after a homesexual leader!
U.S. Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, broke with tradition (as he always does) and named a new ship after Harvey Milk. What really makes this insulting is not that Milk was an assasinated homosexual politician, but that Milk lied about his time in the USN! According to one biography of the San Francisco politician, he lied about his USN service specifically to win votes! The Washington Times says the U.S. Navy, itself, has yet to confirm which ship Milk served on and what his actual rank was! 
In 2015 I wrote how Nostradamus predicted that a man named Mabus would piss-off a lot a people and get assasinated. The assasination would be used as an excuse for the final war between civilized (which literally means ‘money loving’) nations (MABUS USHERS IN THE NEXT ANTI-CHRIST, MABUS WORKS FOR THE U.S. NAVY)
